Gaja Alteni di Brassica Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Winemaker Notes

"Golden. Opens with layered and complex notes of papaya and pineapple juice followed by vegetal hints of sage and a reminiscent note of plant sap. On the palate, 2017 Alteni di Brassica is bright with tropical fruit flavors such as mango and papaya. The vibrant acidity provides and intensely fragrant, refreshing and rich Sauvignon Blanc.

Pairs well with seafood dishes such as snapper, smoked trout, sushi and sashimi. Also paired well with goat cheese."

Critical Acclaim

93 Vinous

"Gaja’s 2017 Alteni di Brassica (Sauvignon) is bright, crisp and also wonderfully nuanced, with lovely textural depth that gives the wine its classy personality. Green orchard fruit, mint, sage and white flowers all grace an expressive Sauvignon that is varietally expressive, without veering either into the realm of the vegetal or the excessively rich. In other words, it is a wine with terrific balance and plenty of class."

91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2017 Langhe Alteni di Brassica (a pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc) offers tonic freshness, zesty citrus, white peach and crushed oyster shell. The harvest came early in this hot growing season with the grapes coming off the vines as early as August 17th. That early picking date served to keep the aromas fresh and the fruit crunchy. Gaia Gaja tells me that the fruit was super concentrated in this vintage, and the clusters were so small she called them "bonsai grapes." In addition to the concentrated aromas, the wine also shows a level of freshness that comes as a very pleasant surprise. Evidently, the acidity was also concentrated into those tiny berries."
